Great service from this Garage. Very personable staff great information and explanation every step of the way. As a single woman did not feel unsure of honest quote which happens frequently and in fact felt very secure throughout the repair. Will certainly use again and would definitely recommend them. Thank you VRS.

Oil change fine. Follow-up jobs to hand brake and calipers were a joke. Returned twice to get hand brake sorted and ended up having to go somewhere else.
And calipers were put on rear wheels shoddily. Had to return as wheels were hot. Pins were discovered as being disintegrated on all four calipers by another garage - how they didn't notice that I have no idea.
The oil change was fine though.

well where do I start with my praise for everyone at VRS REPAIR SERVICES who go that extra mile to put their customers first, after being totally ripped off quote wise by the big high street exhaust companies one of which refused my car because the manifold bolts were seized,VRS came to my help within minutes of posting on the site, cost was quarter than the high street exhaust places and an extremely fast turnaround. before paying any expensive high street fitting centre costs give VRS a call you will not be dissappointed, am so pleased to find these guys. VRS = VALUE RELIABLE SERVICE.
Thank you VRS your a credit to the auto trade

Fantastic service. I had a phonecall immediately after asking for a quote. I was told they could do it the next day and come and collect my car and drop it off afterwards.
True to their word a man came prompt early the next morning and came back at the time stated with my clutch all done.
Would definitely use this garage again.

Hopefully our FAQ section has answered some of the questions you may have about the steering and suspension systems. However, if you would like more information, we have the produced the following guide to help you understand the subject in greater detail.

The steering and suspension in your Isuzu make it possible to control your vehicle and make the ride comfortable.

These two systems are connected and work in tandem which is why they are grouped as one job type by mechanics.

Steering

Today there are two basic types of steering systems; Standard Mechanical / Rack and Pinion steering.

The major difference between the two is that the Rack and Piston system has less parts and pivot points, which results in more accurate control and higher responsiveness.

However, this system has a higher chance of leakage which means the steering rack assembly typically requires replacement more often than Standard Mechanical steering.

Suspension

Suspension is essentially the shock absorbing part of a Isuzu which allows your car to keep its wheels in firm contact with the road while maintaining traction, it also helps provide passengers with a comfortable ride.

The suspension in your car is mainly comprised of springs and shock absorbers which come in all shapes and sizes depending on the vehicle.

Suspension removes a huge amount of vibration and bumps from a Isuzu as well as internal noise, so it will be noticeable if something is broken!

Even if your car drives smoothly and comfortably it is always a good idea to have the steering and suspension checked at least once a year.

There are many forces being applied to your steering and suspension as you drive along which means the two systems can be subject to stress from every angle. This means there are many areas which could be affected by driving.

Highly recommended i would never use any other garage again other then R J MOT, excellent prices, trust worthy 100% realiable, i was quoted from other garages £230+ just for ignition barrel, without labour and the rest of the problems, i was also told by another mechanic its not fixable and scrap it, R J MOT completely replaced my ignition barrel key and ignition switch plus my anti roll bar bushes for an excellent price of £145 with labour plus picking my car up and dropping it home, and also went over my car with a fine tooth comb to make sure it was safe for me and my children, Definitely a happy customer and 100% wouldnt go anywere else but here thank you for sorting my car
